Amid India-Pakistan tensions, the BCCI has canceled the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League. 57 matches were successfully played in the tournament while the 58th match was stopped midway due to security. Now the BCCI will announce the dates and venues of its re-schedule as to when and where the remaining matches will be played.
There are a total of 13 matches left in the league stage of IPL 2025, including the Punjab vs Delhi match canceled on Thursday. 3 out of 10 teams are officially out of the playoff race while there is no team whose playoff ticket is confirmed. After 58 matches, Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bangalore are at the first and second positions respectively in the points table with 16-16 points.
Punjab Kings are at the third position with 15 points and Mumbai Indians are at the fourth position with 14 points. Delhi (13 points), KKR (11 points) and Lucknow (10 points) involved in the playoff race are at the fifth, sixth and seventh positions respectively.
IPL has been stopped in the league stage. Now the remaining matches will be held only after the situation becomes normal. Its dates can be announced soon. One option is to hold the remaining matches in an empty stadium, while it can also be shifted. However, BCCI will not take any hasty decision right now.
So far no team has officially qualified for the playoffs. A total of 7 teams are still hoping to make it to the playoffs.
A total of 3 teams are out of the playoff race. First Chennai Super Kings and then Rajasthan Royals were out. Sunrisers Hyderabad was the third team to be out of the playoff race.
This year IPL 2025 and PSL 2025 were being played in one window. The world's biggest cricket league IPL started from 22 March and PSL started from 11 April. After remaining unsold in the IPL auction, players like David Warner, Kane Williamson, Jason Holder, Rassie van der Dussen chose PSL. Amidst India-Pakistan tension, the organization of PSL has also been stopped in Pakistan, it has been shifted to Dubai.
On 22 April, there was a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, in which a total of 26 people, including 25 tourists, were shot dead. After this attack, there was anger across the country and there was a demand for revenge from Pakistan, because the conspiracy of this attack was hatched sitting in Pakistan. After this, India destroyed 9 terrorist bases of Pakistan on 7 May under Operation Sindoor, from where a conspiracy was being hatched to spread terrorism in India. After this, Pakistani soldiers attacked India with drones, to which the Indian Army gave a befitting reply and killed them. Now in such a tense situation, BCCI does not want IPL 2025 to continue.
